“Downtown Parade Honors Heroes”

The article, “Downtown Parade Honors Heroes,” by Tom McGhee, was posted in The Denver Post last Saturday. On September 15th, a parade was held to honor cops, firefighters, veterans and other everyday heroes. The parade proceeded down the streets of Down Town Denver, flashing blue and red emergency lights. The parade was held for citizens to recognize the people who protect our lives and this country on a daily basis. This was Colorado’s first ever Parade of Honor. More then 200 units participated in the parade. Golden citizen Lee Robinson came to the parade after hearing about it on the news. He and several others would like the parade to become an annual event. They feel that it’s important to honor our protectors. I think this article matters to me and the world, because I also feel that it’s important to recognize what veterans, firefighters, and cops do for us. They put their own lives out on the line to protect this country and its people.
